Emergen-C

I have very few rituals.  Taking Emergen-C every morning right after I wake up is one of them.

I love this stuff. It’s totally awesome.  Tons of vitamin C and B vitamins perk you right up. Plus, it’s a great immune system booster.  Taking one a day–like an apple–keeps the flu at bay. Seriously, I haven’t been sick since I don’t know when.

And here’s a little secret…if you’ve over-indulged in the kir royales, take a packet (mixed with water, of course) before going to bed.  You’ll feel about 100 times better in the morning than if you didn’t.  Trust me on this one.

My favorites are raspberry and acai.  Stir a packet into 4 – 6 ounces of cool water and do something good for your body.

Kir Royale

I was introduced to this awesome cocktail by Carol Gardner over lunch on a Friday four or five years ago.  We sipped our Kir Royales, ate something yummy (though I can’t remember what) and I felt so sophisticated and worldly.

Sophisticated, worldly, elegant, fabulous. Awesome.

Pour a little crème de cassis in a flute, fill the glass with champagne, add a lemon twist if you wish and enjoy.

De-lish.
